/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libXpm.so when searching for -lXpm

Hi all

I am trying to install OTRS 2.3.4 on an Centos release 5.3 (Final) with Kernel 2.6.18-92.el5xen on an x86_64 with an yum -y update after setup

the problem is when I try to install the perl:GD GD::Text GD::Graph GD::Graph::lines GD::Text::Align

on installing the GD I receive:

Code:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libXpm.so when searching for -lXpm

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXpm

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [blib/arch/auto/GD/GD.so] Error 1

  LDS/GD-2.41.tar.gz

  /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK

Running make test

  Can't test without successful make

Running make install

  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

Failed during this command:

 LDS/GD-2.41.tar.gz                          : make NO

I have tried manually and got the same message.

my ld version:

Code:

[root@otrs bin]# ld -v

GNU ld version 2.17.50.0.6-9.el5 20061020

[root@otrs bin]#

and uname -a

Code:

[root@otrs bin]# uname -a

Linux otrs 2.6.18-92.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Jun 10 19:20:18 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[root@otrs bin]#

Thanks in advanced

Probably the wrong architecture. GD is arch dependent.

Why not start installing the available packages with yum ?
# yum search perl-gd
# yum install perl-GD<arch> perl-GDGraph ........

Then the dependencies will be installed too.

And # 'cpan' for the remaining packages.
.....

needed to add a new repository:

Code:

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS//rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

and then yum search perl-gd and now its ok :)

thanks again :D
